1 INTRODUCTION

FULL HD

1920x1080

The HT3000E projector represents the state of the art in image pro­cessing combined with the innovative DLP™ sytsem and outstanding
optics.

Its range of inputs (1 Composite Video input, 1 S-Video input, 1 Com­ponents or RGB input, 1 graphic RGB input, 2 HDMI™ inputs) allow it to
be connected to a wide range of analogue and digital sources: DVD
players, video recorders, satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers,
video game consoles, camcorders, etc.

Its image processing system allows optimum reproduction of a wide
range of input signals, from interlaced video to high definition and
digital graphics.
Faithful reproduction of signals at higher resolutions (such as high
definition video and graphics) occurs without loss of information or
reduction of image sharpness thanks to the processor’s high pixel rate
signal acquisition capabilities.

Different input signal resolutions can be adapted to match the specified
screen resolution without loss of image quality, thanks to a generous
selection of preset aspect ratios, some of which are user definable.

All picture adjustments can be made with the remote control interac­ting with a simple menu-activated On Screen Display; alternatively,
the projector can be controlled by a domestic automation system
via its serial port.

The appliance has been subjected to exhaustive operating tests by
SIM2 to ensure maximum quality.
The projector bulb life should thus initially be around 30-60 hours.
Besides the usual checks, the Quality Control department also runs
additional statistical tests before despatch.
In this instance the packaging may show signs of having been
opened, and the hours operation of the lamp may be higher than
the value required under standard procedures.

Connect the units to a mains electrical supply with rated

voltage of between 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and equipped
with a protective earth connection. If you are not sure of
your domestic mains rating, contact an electrician. Take
care to avoid overloading the power socket and any ex­tension leads.

• Changing the fuses.

Before changing the fuse disconnect the unit from the

mains power supply.

The fuse compartment is next to the power supply con-

nector (Fig. 3). Remove the fuse holder (2) with a flat head
screwdriver and replace the fuse (3). Fit a new spare fuse
(4). Use only T 5A H fuses.

• Be careful with cables.

Make certain cables are routed so that people will not be

impeded or tripped up.
Keep all cables away from children.
Install the unit as close to the wall socket as possible. Avoid

stepping on power cables, make certain they do not be-

come tangled, and never jerk or tug them; do not expose

them to sources of heat, and make sure they do are not

knotted or crimped. If the power cables become dama-

ged, stop using the system and request the assistance of

an authorised technician.

• Disconnect the unit from the mains power supply in the event

of electrical storms and when not in use.

To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity,

disconnect the unit during storms or when the sytsem is

going to be left unused for a long time.

• Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp.

Do not use the unit near to water (sinks, tubs, etc.); do not

place objects containing liquids on or near to the unit and

do not expose it to rain, humidity, drops of water or sprays;

do not use water or liquid detergent to clean it.

Fig.3

• Do not allow the unit to overheat.

To prevent this, allow a free space of at least 40 cm around

the back of the projector.
Do not block the ventilation slots.
Do not place the unit near to heat sources such as ovens,

radiators or other devices (including amplifiers).
Do not place the unit in a restricted area (shelving units,

bookshelves, etc.) and in general avoid placing it in poorly

ventilated areas as this can lead to overheating.

• Never look directly at the projection lamp.

Never look directly into the lamp when it is on as the inten-

se light can damage your eyes. Take particular care that

children cannot do so.

• Take special care regarding the movements of the

lens.

Do not place objects in the slots on the side of the lens,

and also ensure that the lens’s horizontal and vertical mo-

vements are unimpeded by external objects.

• Position the unit on a stable surface.

Place the projector on a stable surface or use the provided

ceiling mounting bracket.
Never place the projector on its side or rear, lens or top

panel.

• Do not insert objects through the openings in the unit.

Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the units. If this

should occur, disconnect the unit from the power supply

immediately and call an authorised technician.

• Energy savings.

Disconnect the power supply when the projector is not

in use. This will considerably reduce power consumption

and also lengthen the service life of the unit’s electrical

circuitry.

4 INSTALLATION

Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise the
optional bracket for a fixed ceiling installation.

WARNING: If using the ceiling mount bracket, scrupulously
observe the safety instructions included with the bracket
itself. If using a bracket other than that supplied by SIM2
Multimedia, make sure that the projector is at least 65 mm
below the ceiling and that the bracket does not obstruct the
air vents (intake and outlet).

If the projected image is not level, adjust the feet on its base
to obtain a level position, lining up the base of the projected
image to the base of the projection screen (Fig. 6).

Fig. 7

If this displacement is insufficient, tilt the projector and correct
the keystone error with the Keystone adjustment in the Installa­tion menu (Fig. 8a).

Place the projector at the desired distance from the screen:
the size of the projected image is a function of the distance
between the lens and the screen and the lens zoom setting.
Use the motor zoom (Fig. 7) to zoom the projected image in
and out.
Use the motor focus function (Fig. 7) to obtain a clear image;
if the image is correctly focused, you should be able to see
each single pixel of the projected image when close to the
screen (Fig. 7).

Fig. 6

Fig. 8

The Orientation adjustment in the Set up menu allows you to
reverse the image vertically and horizontally (Fig. 9), to allow
the projector to be used for desktop front, ceiling front, desktop
rear and ceiling rear installations (Fig. 9).

To activate an electric motorised screen a 12 Volt output is
provided at the rear of the projector (Fig. 10).
The output is activated (Voltage: 12 Vdc) when the projector is
switched on and is de-activated (no Voltage output) when the
projector is in stand-by mode.
You can also use black motirised curtains to delimit the screen
when the projected image aspect ratio changes (Fig. 11a). This
option is controlled via the output at the rear of the projector.

screen’s axis.
Prevent ambient light shining directly on the screen during
projection as this will reduce the contrast of the projected
image.
Furniture and other objects with reflecting surfaces, as well as
light coloured walls should be avoided, as they are likely to
interfere with the screen’s characteristics.

Fig. 11a

The manual lens shift adjustment allows the projected image
to be moved vertically, up or down, in relation to the centre of
the screen; the maximum adjustment being equal to half the
height of the image in either direction (Fig. 11b).
Image shift range: 1/3 image.

For rear projection the screen must be translucent.
For front projection, we recommend the use of a screen with
black matt borders to contain the projected image.

Preferably use a unit gain screen; high gain screens are only
effective when used with a small group of viewers close to the
